00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.240
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:09.119
Epstein Chronicles. Jeffrey Epstein wasn't a scandal. Bro was an
3
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:13.880
operating system, a global one. His crimes didn't just cross borders,
4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:19.920
they required them. They required passports, diplomatic silence, intelligence indifference,
5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:25.480
financial laundering, and political cowardice on multiple continents. We're not
6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.399
talking about a predator hiding in the shadows. This was
7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:34.920
a predator moving openly through capitals, embassies, royal circles, hedge funds,
8
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:41.880
and ministries, protected not by secrecy but by usefulness. Epstein
9
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:46.079
functioned because powerful institutions decided that the damage he did
10
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.759
to children was an acceptable cost of doing business. And
11
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.000
that's why the contrast unfolding right now between the United
12
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.079
Kingdom and the United States matters so damn much. In
13
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.960
the UK, the question is no longer did Epstein do
14
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.680
it that ship sailed years ago. The question is who
15
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.439
was adjacent, who knew, and who felt to act, And
16
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.680
that line of inquiry is dragging names like Peter Mandelsson
17
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.519
back into the open, whether they like it or not.
18
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.480
This isn't about salacious guilt by association gossip. This is
19
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.120
about whether a proximity to Epstein is treated as politically
20
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.439
radioactive or politically ignored, and the fact that the pressure
21
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.799
is now creeping towards Kara Starmer tells you something important.
22
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.040
In Britain, Epstein's being treated as a legitimacy test for power,
23
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.000
not a tabloid embarrassment to be memory hold. Now look
24
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.519
across the Atlantic, where the response from the American right,
25
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.120
led by Donald Trump and his band of Oligarch's donors
26
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:50.760
and ideological arsonists, has been to the Claire Epstein a hoax,
27
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.920
a distraction, a conspiracy cooked up by enemies. No, we
28
00:01:55.959 --> 00:02:01.480
need answers, not the system failed, a hoax that alone
29
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.040
should end any serious conversation about credibility. It's the last
30
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.520
refuge of people who know the paper trail exists and
31
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.719
are terrified of where it leads. In America, Unfortunately, the
32
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.639
Nile has replaced governance, and here is the real divergence.
33
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.960
In the UK, Epstein's being treated as a system's failure.
34
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.639
In the US, He's treated as the public relations inconvenience.
35
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:33.120
British politicians are being forced to explain judgment, access and
36
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:38.240
institutional response. American politicians are a scream in fague news
37
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.439
while actively obstructing scrutiny of the very agencies that let
38
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:47.599
Epstein operate for decades. The British approach says power must
39
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.840
explain itself. The American approach says power must be protected
40
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.520
at all costs, and that brings us to the most
41
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.599
damning comparison of all. In the UK, accountability is being
42
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:04.039
demanded upward. In the United States, the blame is being
43
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.840
pushed downward onto victims, journalists, the media, or the public's
44
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.840
opposed inability to move on. No serious reckoning has been
45
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.400
forced on the Department of Justice, no genuine accounting for
46
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.280
the non prosecution agreement, the custody failures, the sealed files,
47
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:25.000
or the federal actors who grease the wheels. Instead, we're
48
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.879
told to forget, forgive, and shut up. Epstein was the
49
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.240
biggest global power because power is global, and the UK,
50
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.479
for all of its flaws, is at least acknowledging that truth.
51
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.840
America isn't. Until US politicians stop calling documented crimes a
52
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:47.000
hoax and start demanding the same standards of decency, transparency,
53
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.879
and accountability now being applied overseas, this country will remain
54
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.719
what Epstein proved it to be a safe harbor for
55
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.560
the well connected and a dead end for justice. Today's
56
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.400
article is from the Delhi Mel and the headline secret
57
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.039
Text with PM's chief aid, what PM knew about Epstein
58
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.800
Lynx and huge golden Goodbye. The grim trove of Mandelssohn
59
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.839
papers due for publication that could end Starmer. This article
60
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:21.720
was authored by Rory Tingle. New files relating to Kira
61
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.879
Starmer's appointment of Peter Mandelssohn as US ambassador will add
62
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.759
more fuel to a scandal that could propel him out
63
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.199
of office. The Prime Minister has been forced to order
64
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.480
the publication of a trove of papers after Kemy Badknock
65
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:42.040
forced the Commons vote on the issue, and good for her. Look,
66
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:43.319
I'm not going to sit here and tell you I
67
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.160
know a whole bunch about you know, UK politics, I
68
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.079
do not. But anytime anyone's forcing the issue when it
69
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.079
comes to Jeffrey Epstein in accountability, I'm on board. I
70
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.639
don't need to know what political party you're from. All
71
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.959
I need to know is that you're looking for justice
72
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.959
and accountability, and any sort of political disagreements we might have,
73
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.279
we could save those for another day. Dubbed the Mandelsson files.
74
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.839
They will include hundreds of documents surrounding his appointment, including
75
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.240
private texts exchanged with Sarah Kerr and his chief of staff,
76
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:21.759
Morgan McSweeney, who bulldozed through the appointment. So this Sweeney
77
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.319
character was the one that really pushed for Mandelssohn to
78
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.279
get this position, I guess. And now he's gonna have
79
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.839
to answer for what happened. I mean, imagine that some
80
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.600
actual accountability. We don't know what that means here in
81
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.920
America when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Lord Mandelsson was
82
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.360
sacked from his US posting last September after emails emerged
83
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.319
showing him carrying on his friendship with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey
84
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:52.600
Epstein after his conviction for child sex offenses in a
85
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:57.319
pincher movement with mutinous labor MPs. Yesterday, Ms Badnock used
86
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.519
a Commons motion to require the release of all documents
87
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.800
surrounding the faithful decision to make him US ambassador in
88
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.519
December of twenty twenty four. And what's wild is that
89
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.079
he even got that job in the first place. We're
90
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:15.480
not talking about an unknown in British politics. We're talking
91
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.160
about a dude that has had plenty of problems along
92
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:22.160
the way, but sure, let's recycle him, put him in
93
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:27.199
a position as ambassador, embarrass the country, embarrass the party,
94
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.600
and cause a huge scandal, because you know that's what
95
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.319
every political party needs, right and for what to give
96
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.680
Mandelson a posting? Why? Because he's your friend, because he's
97
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.759
been in politics for years now. Some people might look
98
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.079
at that as some kind of resume builder, but not me.
99
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.360
If you've been in politics for three or four decades,
100
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.079
chances are you can't do anything else, so instead you'll
101
00:06:55.079 --> 00:07:00.199
stay in government and enrich yourself on public funds. That's
102
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.399
the vast majority of these people. I mean here in America,
103
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.040
we all know that they come into Congress or Senate
104
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.240
and they're worth a few bucks, and by the time
105
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.439
they leave, they're millionaires. How do you think that happens
106
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.000
just overnight? And if it was so easy, how come
107
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.639
the rest of us aren't doing it? Sir e kir
108
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.839
attempted to neuter the release by suggesting Cabinet Secretary Sir
109
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.319
Chris Warmold would be asked to vet all documents to
110
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:31.120
ensure they did not undermine national security or international relations.
111
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.480
Oh more, national security with Jeffrey Epstein, Huh, just a
112
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:39.240
loan predator, just a guy that had some proclivities, folks. Meanwhile,
113
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.959
these emails are just filled with correspondence from all kinds
114
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:49.120
of intelligence sources around the world, And it plays directly
115
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.279
into what I've been saying from the jump. The dude
116
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.240
is a free agent. He doesn't work for one government
117
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.959
or the other, doesn't have loyalty to anyone but himself.
118
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.120
And I think that these emails and the fact that
119
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.439
he was in connection with these intelligence services all over
120
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:10.800
the world really slam that home. But that only saw
121
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.959
Miss bad Knock accuse him of trying to cover up
122
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.920
evidence of a catastrophic lack of judgment while also managing
123
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.199
to rile labor MPs led by his leadership rival Angela Rayner.
124
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.160
And so I can't really give you too much on
125
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.360
who these people are because I don't know them intimately
126
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.680
enough to know what their policies are or what they're
127
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:36.279
doing as far as governing. So when we talk about
128
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.440
these people over in the government in the UK, we're
129
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.639
going to be talking about them specifically in regards to Epstein.
130
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.960
And I know this is going to come off as crazy,
131
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.919
but I only talk about things I know about I
132
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.720
know that's not the way to get ahead these days,
133
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.679
but here we are following the PM's climb down. The
134
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.320
motion to release the Mandelson files was passed by MPs
135
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.159
without a vote. The files will now be picked through
136
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.720
by parliaments Intelligence and Security Committee, who have top level clearance,
137
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.639
so basically the same process that we see here with
138
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.519
the DOJ. They're going to go through this. They're going
139
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.720
to redact what they think they need to redact, and
140
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.399
then they'll release what they think is safe for public consumption.
141
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.799
Will it be good enough, We'll have to see. The
142
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.000
files will include details of what Lord Mandelsson told the
143
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.159
Prime Minister and mister McSweeney about the nature of his
144
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:34.360
relationship with Epstein. This could prove deeply damaging to Sirkir,
145
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.799
who admitted for the first time yesterday that he appointed
146
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.320
the new Labor Grandee despite knowing he had remain friends
147
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:47.120
with Epstein after his conviction. WhatsApp exchanges sent on private
148
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:51.879
phones may be included, as could information relating to negotiations
149
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.039
around the Golden Goodbye pay to Lord Mandelsson after his sacking.
150
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.679
And that's just wild to think about. You get fired
151
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.399
for your relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and you still get
152
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.919
a golden parachute on the way out the door, provided
153
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.679
to you by the English taxpayer, because you know, the
154
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.440
English taxpayer has nothing else that that money could be
155
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.240
spent on. Right, Everything's just fine and dandy over in
156
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:21.159
the UK. Are these people for real? Meanwhile, get fired
157
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.279
from your job and see how that shit works out
158
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.240
for you. Be lucky if you get unemployment. You know
159
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.799
how these companies are file for unemployment and they try
160
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.120
and deny you say you you know, were fired for
161
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:36.320
cause whatever it might be. But this dirt bag out
162
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.279
here running around in his tidy Whitey's over at Jeffrey
163
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.440
Epstein's house ends up getting a golden parachute. Huh, folks,
164
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.919
I'm in the wrong line of work. But last night
165
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.080
there were doubts about how much material would be released
166
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.320
after the Metropolitan Police warned against publishing anything that could
167
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:58.279
undermine its criminal investigation into Lord Mandelsson's activities. Now those
168
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.519
are great words to hear, investigation, but let's remember we're
169
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:08.240
talking about Metro Police who cleared Epstein in Maxwell multiple times,
170
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.600
so I'm not exactly confident that they're going to do
171
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.879
the right thing. But I hope so, I hope that
172
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:19.240
the English politicians force the issue. Now, look, I'm not naive.
173
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.320
I don't think the English politicians are any better than ours.
174
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.879
But I do think they recognize the moment for what
175
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.559
it is, and I think they're smart enough to know
176
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:35.639
that the people demand action. Scotland yards investigating whether emails
177
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.279
in which Lord Mandelson appeared to send Epstein market sensitive
178
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.559
information while serving as Labor Business Secretary during the financial
179
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:47.480
crisis could constitute misconduct in public office, a crime that
180
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:51.200
carries a potential life sentence. Well, we know that Jeffrey
181
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.200
Epstein benefited bigley from the recession. We know he was
182
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.360
bailed out, and we know he made over two hundred
183
00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:00.279
and fifty million dollars on the back end. So this
184
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.120
gluttonous fuck was eating from both sides of the table.
185
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.639
He was eating from the disaster and then he was
186
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.440
getting fat on the recovery. You know your money, that
187
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:15.759
ball out money. Yeah that. Though the Mandelssynh scandal has
188
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:20.840
left Sirrakir's premiership hanging in the balance, with rumors sweeping
189
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:25.559
Westminster that some prime ministers are even considering resigning in
190
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:29.559
a bid to accelerate his downfall. Hey, look, got to
191
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.080
pay the piper, bro. You made the decision to send
192
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.360
MANDELSSHN to DC, you made the decision to bring him
193
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.080
back into government, So now you got to catch that
194
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:45.080
proverbial falling knife. The Cross Party Intelligence and Security Committee
195
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.120
will now decide what material is released, with the chair
196
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.080
of warning embarrassment is not enough for evidence to be suppressed.
197
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.000
A series of emails have already been released that cast
198
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.720
light on mister Mandelsson's friendship with Epstein. Some of them
199
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.960
mess show the Labor Grande celebrating the pedophiles released from
200
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:08.159
jail as Liberation Day and calling them a naughty boy,
201
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.679
not one single thought for those girls that were abused
202
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.840
down in Florida, Because that's what Epstein went to jail for, right,
203
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.039
That's what he was in jail for the eighteen months for.
204
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.879
And Kiir Starmer's out here calling him a naughty boy
205
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:29.240
for molested little kids. The latest Epstein files document dump
206
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:33.320
by US authorities has piled further pressure on Lord Mandelson,
207
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.360
who's facing a criminal probe and has quit the House
208
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.960
of Lords. Well that's cool, I'm sure he could find
209
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:43.080
a job within the Trump administration, maybe with Ben black
210
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.840
or with Howard Lutnik. One email thread from July of
211
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.159
two thousand and nine apparently shows the then government minister
212
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.720
asking Epstein how they should celebrate his release from prison
213
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.320
after serving thirteen months for soliciting prostitution with the minor,
214
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.200
which again we know is not even a real thing.
215
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:09.879
Miners cannot consent. Epstein responded with grace and modesty. Those
216
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.559
are the names of two strippers. Lord Mandelsson said from
217
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.320
now on grace and modesty should be discovered in London.
218
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.679
The emails can be traced to him because his private
219
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.799
email address was left unredacted in one of the messages
220
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.519
and his name in another. The Dealy Mail has redacted
221
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.919
most of the email address with a gray box in
222
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.480
this article, while the original redactions from the US Department
223
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:38.960
of Justice are black boxes. The former UK ambassador to
224
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.799
the US told the dea email the messages were his,
225
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:48.000
but they are his Epstein observations, not mine, and that
226
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.879
he was saying Epstein should find grace and modesty, not strippers.
227
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.399
Oh no, that's exactly what you were saying. Huh. So,
228
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.799
not only do they have no respect for you, they
229
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.759
think you're stupid too. Keep that in mind. The two
230
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.879
thousand and nine emails also show Mandelssohn asking how his
231
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.320
freedom feeling, to which the sex offender replied, she feels fresh, firm,
232
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.799
and creamy. Naughty boy, the labor grandee wrote in response.
233
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:17.000
In another message, Mandelsh can be seen telling Epstein upon
234
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:22.519
his release liberation day, Well, that's pretty ironic because the
235
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.759
only thing being liberated at this point is mister mandelssh
236
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:32.279
from his career. The crude messages of prompted disgust from
237
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:36.720
figures across the political spectrum, with SNP Westminster leader Stephen
238
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.759
Flynn writing on X sick Bastards, and Tory shadow minister
239
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.559
Alex Berghardt telling MP's he was shocked and disturbed. YO,
240
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.759
that sounds cool as hell. A shadow minister? How do
241
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.440
I apply for that gig? Will that be like Lord
242
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.600
Varres in Game of Thrones? Or is it like Steve
243
00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:02.519
Bannon here in America? Downing Street sources play down the
244
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.759
prospect of Mandelson files being released today, although it's still possible.
245
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.200
As seen in the US, the process may take some time,
246
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:14.159
although any excessive delay or redactions will lead the further
247
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.320
political rows and claims of a cover up. YO. The
248
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.399
cover up is roiling over in the UK, and I'm
249
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.240
here for it tall my listeners over in the UK,
250
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.519
over in Ireland, over in Scotland. We're going to be
251
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.519
following along every step of the way, because all of
252
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.960
it matters, all of it's connected, and it shows you
253
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.440
the true reach of Jeffrey Epstein's network and just how
254
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:45.559
powerful it was. With Sirrakiir's authority in tatters, even normally
255
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.840
loyal labor figures have questioned how long he can hang
256
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.440
on senior MPs or in the situation will not end
257
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.039
well for Sir Ekir and the clock is ticking, while
258
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.559
ex Cabinet Minister Lord Hutton suggested that his time and
259
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.759
power is coming to a close. If the Mandelssyn files
260
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.960
revealed the pm knew more about Lord Mandelson's links to
261
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.359
Epstein than he made out, that could prove fatal to
262
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:14.279
his leadership. Yeah, I would say so, And if it does,
263
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.200
I'd say that's a great precedent and one that should
264
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.559
surely be followed here in the United States. Unfortunately, considering
265
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.440
the robber barons and the oligarchs we have ruling US,
266
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.680
I have my doubts if that's going to occur, but
267
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.359
either way, we'll be here every single day keeping the
268
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.160
flags of discontent waving. And to all of you who
269
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:38.640
have just recently found the podcast, I appreciate each and
270
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.680
every one of you who stick around and continue to
271
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.680
support the podcast as we push for transparency and justice
272
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.279
for those who deserve it most. And speaking of justice,
273
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.200
we finally have our hands on that charging document from
274
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.119
Epstein's arrests the first time around down in Florida, so
275
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.519
later on today we'll start taking a look at that
276
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.720
as well. But as for this one, well that's going
277
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.680
to do it. All of the information that goes with
278
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:09.480
this episode can be found in the description box.
1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.240
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:09.119
Epstein Chronicles. Jeffrey Epstein wasn't a scandal. Bro was an
3
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:13.880
operating system, a global one. His crimes didn't just cross borders,
4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:19.920
they required them. They required passports, diplomatic silence, intelligence indifference,
5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:25.480
financial laundering, and political cowardice on multiple continents. We're not
6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.399
talking about a predator hiding in the shadows. This was
7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:34.920
a predator moving openly through capitals, embassies, royal circles, hedge funds,
8
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:41.880
and ministries, protected not by secrecy but by usefulness. Epstein
9
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:46.079
functioned because powerful institutions decided that the damage he did
10
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.759
to children was an acceptable cost of doing business. And
11
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.000
that's why the contrast unfolding right now between the United
12
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.079
Kingdom and the United States matters so damn much. In
13
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.960
the UK, the question is no longer did Epstein do
14
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.680
it that ship sailed years ago. The question is who
15
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.439
was adjacent, who knew, and who felt to act, And
16
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.680
that line of inquiry is dragging names like Peter Mandelsson
17
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.519
back into the open, whether they like it or not.
18
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.480
This isn't about salacious guilt by association gossip. This is
19
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.120
about whether a proximity to Epstein is treated as politically
20
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.439
radioactive or politically ignored, and the fact that the pressure
21
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.799
is now creeping towards Kara Starmer tells you something important.
22
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.040
In Britain, Epstein's being treated as a legitimacy test for power,
23
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.000
not a tabloid embarrassment to be memory hold. Now look
24
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.519
across the Atlantic, where the response from the American right,
25
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.120
led by Donald Trump and his band of Oligarch's donors
26
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:50.760
and ideological arsonists, has been to the Claire Epstein a hoax,
27
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.920
a distraction, a conspiracy cooked up by enemies. No, we
28
00:01:55.959 --> 00:02:01.480
need answers, not the system failed, a hoax that alone
29
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.040
should end any serious conversation about credibility. It's the last
30
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.520
refuge of people who know the paper trail exists and
31
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.719
are terrified of where it leads. In America, Unfortunately, the
32
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.639
Nile has replaced governance, and here is the real divergence.
33
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.960
In the UK, Epstein's being treated as a system's failure.
34
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.639
In the US, He's treated as the public relations inconvenience.
35
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:33.120
British politicians are being forced to explain judgment, access and
36
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:38.240
institutional response. American politicians are a scream in fague news
37
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.439
while actively obstructing scrutiny of the very agencies that let
38
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:47.599
Epstein operate for decades. The British approach says power must
39
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.840
explain itself. The American approach says power must be protected
40
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.520
at all costs, and that brings us to the most
41
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.599
damning comparison of all. In the UK, accountability is being
42
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:04.039
demanded upward. In the United States, the blame is being
43
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.840
pushed downward onto victims, journalists, the media, or the public's
44
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.840
opposed inability to move on. No serious reckoning has been
45
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.400
forced on the Department of Justice, no genuine accounting for
46
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.280
the non prosecution agreement, the custody failures, the sealed files,
47
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:25.000
or the federal actors who grease the wheels. Instead, we're
48
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.879
told to forget, forgive, and shut up. Epstein was the
49
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.240
biggest global power because power is global, and the UK,
50
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.479
for all of its flaws, is at least acknowledging that truth.
51
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.840
America isn't. Until US politicians stop calling documented crimes a
52
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:47.000
hoax and start demanding the same standards of decency, transparency,
53
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.879
and accountability now being applied overseas, this country will remain
54
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.719
what Epstein proved it to be a safe harbor for
55
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.560
the well connected and a dead end for justice. Today's
56
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.400
article is from the Delhi Mel and the headline secret
57
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.039
Text with PM's chief aid, what PM knew about Epstein

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.800
Lynx and huge golden Goodbye. The grim trove of Mandelssohn
59
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.839
papers due for publication that could end Starmer. This article
60
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:21.720
was authored by Rory Tingle. New files relating to Kira
61
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.879
Starmer's appointment of Peter Mandelssohn as US ambassador will add
62
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.759
more fuel to a scandal that could propel him out
63
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.199
of office. The Prime Minister has been forced to order
64
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.480
the publication of a trove of papers after Kemy Badknock
65
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:42.040
forced the Commons vote on the issue, and good for her. Look,
66
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:43.319
I'm not going to sit here and tell you I
67
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.160
know a whole bunch about you know, UK politics, I
68
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.079
do not. But anytime anyone's forcing the issue when it
69
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.079
comes to Jeffrey Epstein in accountability, I'm on board. I
70
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.639
don't need to know what political party you're from. All
71
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.959
I need to know is that you're looking for justice
72
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.959
and accountability, and any sort of political disagreements we might have,
73
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.279
we could save those for another day. Dubbed the Mandelsson files.
74
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.839
They will include hundreds of documents surrounding his appointment, including
75
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.240
private texts exchanged with Sarah Kerr and his chief of staff,
76
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:21.759
Morgan McSweeney, who bulldozed through the appointment. So this Sweeney
77
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.319
character was the one that really pushed for Mandelssohn to
78
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.279
get this position, I guess. And now he's gonna have
79
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.839
to answer for what happened. I mean, imagine that some
80
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.600
actual accountability. We don't know what that means here in
81
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.920
America when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Lord Mandelsson was
82
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.360
sacked from his US posting last September after emails emerged
83
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.319
showing him carrying on his friendship with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey
84
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:52.600
Epstein after his conviction for child sex offenses in a
85
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:57.319
pincher movement with mutinous labor MPs. Yesterday, Ms Badnock used
86
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.519
a Commons motion to require the release of all documents
87
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.800
surrounding the faithful decision to make him US ambassador in
88
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.519
December of twenty twenty four. And what's wild is that
89
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.079
he even got that job in the first place. We're
90
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:15.480
not talking about an unknown in British politics. We're talking
91
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.160
about a dude that has had plenty of problems along
92
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:22.160
the way, but sure, let's recycle him, put him in
93
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:27.199
a position as ambassador, embarrass the country, embarrass the party,
94
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.600
and cause a huge scandal, because you know that's what
95
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.319
every political party needs, right and for what to give
96
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.680
Mandelson a posting? Why? Because he's your friend, because he's
97
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.759
been in politics for years now. Some people might look
98
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.079
at that as some kind of resume builder, but not me.
99
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.360
If you've been in politics for three or four decades,
100
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.079
chances are you can't do anything else, so instead you'll
101
00:06:55.079 --> 00:07:00.199
stay in government and enrich yourself on public funds. That's
102
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.399
the vast majority of these people. I mean here in America,
103
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.040
we all know that they come into Congress or Senate
104
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.240
and they're worth a few bucks, and by the time
105
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.439
they leave, they're millionaires. How do you think that happens
106
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.000
just overnight? And if it was so easy, how come
107
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.639
the rest of us aren't doing it? Sir e kir
108
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.839
attempted to neuter the release by suggesting Cabinet Secretary Sir
109
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.319
Chris Warmold would be asked to vet all documents to
110
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:31.120
ensure they did not undermine national security or international relations.
111
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.480
Oh more, national security with Jeffrey Epstein, Huh, just a
112
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:39.240
loan predator, just a guy that had some proclivities, folks. Meanwhile,
113
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.959
these emails are just filled with correspondence from all kinds
114
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:49.120
of intelligence sources around the world, And it plays directly
115
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.279
into what I've been saying from the jump. The dude
116
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.240
is a free agent. He doesn't work for one government
117
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.959
or the other, doesn't have loyalty to anyone but himself.
118
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.120
And I think that these emails and the fact that
119
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.439
he was in connection with these intelligence services all over
120
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:10.800
the world really slam that home. But that only saw
121
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.959
Miss bad Knock accuse him of trying to cover up
122
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.920
evidence of a catastrophic lack of judgment while also managing
123
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.199
to rile labor MPs led by his leadership rival Angela Rayner.
124
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.160
And so I can't really give you too much on
125
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.360
who these people are because I don't know them intimately
126
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.680
enough to know what their policies are or what they're
127
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:36.279
doing as far as governing. So when we talk about
128
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.440
these people over in the government in the UK, we're
129
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.639
going to be talking about them specifically in regards to Epstein.
130
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.960
And I know this is going to come off as crazy,
131
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.919
but I only talk about things I know about I
132
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.720
know that's not the way to get ahead these days,
133
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.679
but here we are following the PM's climb down. The
134
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.320
motion to release the Mandelson files was passed by MPs
135
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.159
without a vote. The files will now be picked through
136
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.720
by parliaments Intelligence and Security Committee, who have top level clearance,
137
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.639
so basically the same process that we see here with
138
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.519
the DOJ. They're going to go through this. They're going
139
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.720
to redact what they think they need to redact, and
140
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.399
then they'll release what they think is safe for public consumption.
141
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.799
Will it be good enough, We'll have to see. The
142
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.000
files will include details of what Lord Mandelsson told the
143
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.159
Prime Minister and mister McSweeney about the nature of his
144
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:34.360
relationship with Epstein. This could prove deeply damaging to Sirkir,
145
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.799
who admitted for the first time yesterday that he appointed
146
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.320
the new Labor Grandee despite knowing he had remain friends
147
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:47.120
with Epstein after his conviction. WhatsApp exchanges sent on private
148
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:51.879
phones may be included, as could information relating to negotiations
149
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.039
around the Golden Goodbye pay to Lord Mandelsson after his sacking.
150
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.679
And that's just wild to think about. You get fired
151
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.399
for your relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and you still get
152
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.919
a golden parachute on the way out the door, provided
153
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.679
to you by the English taxpayer, because you know, the
154
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.440
English taxpayer has nothing else that that money could be
155
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:16.240
spent on. Right, Everything's just fine and dandy over in
156
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:21.159
the UK. Are these people for real? Meanwhile, get fired
157
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.279
from your job and see how that shit works out
158
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.240
for you. Be lucky if you get unemployment. You know
159
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.799
how these companies are file for unemployment and they try
160
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.120
and deny you say you you know, were fired for
161
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:36.320
cause whatever it might be. But this dirt bag out
162
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.279
here running around in his tidy Whitey's over at Jeffrey
163
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.440
Epstein's house ends up getting a golden parachute. Huh, folks,
164
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.919
I'm in the wrong line of work. But last night
165
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.080
there were doubts about how much material would be released
166
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.320
after the Metropolitan Police warned against publishing anything that could
167
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:58.279
undermine its criminal investigation into Lord Mandelsson's activities. Now those
168
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.519
are great words to hear, investigation, but let's remember we're
169
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:08.240
talking about Metro Police who cleared Epstein in Maxwell multiple times,
170
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.600
so I'm not exactly confident that they're going to do
171
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.879
the right thing. But I hope so, I hope that
172
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:19.240
the English politicians force the issue. Now, look, I'm not naive.
173
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.320
I don't think the English politicians are any better than ours.
174
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.879
But I do think they recognize the moment for what
175
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.559
it is, and I think they're smart enough to know
176
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:35.639
that the people demand action. Scotland yards investigating whether emails
177
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.279
in which Lord Mandelson appeared to send Epstein market sensitive
178
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.559
information while serving as Labor Business Secretary during the financial
179
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:47.480
crisis could constitute misconduct in public office, a crime that
180
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:51.200
carries a potential life sentence. Well, we know that Jeffrey
181
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.200
Epstein benefited bigley from the recession. We know he was
182
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.360
bailed out, and we know he made over two hundred
183
00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:00.279
and fifty million dollars on the back end. So this
184
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.120
gluttonous fuck was eating from both sides of the table.
185
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.639
He was eating from the disaster and then he was
186
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.440
getting fat on the recovery. You know your money, that
187
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:15.759
ball out money. Yeah that. Though the Mandelssynh scandal has
188
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:20.840
left Sirrakir's premiership hanging in the balance, with rumors sweeping
189
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:25.559
Westminster that some prime ministers are even considering resigning in
190
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:29.559
a bid to accelerate his downfall. Hey, look, got to
191
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.080
pay the piper, bro. You made the decision to send
192
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.360
MANDELSSHN to DC, you made the decision to bring him
193
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.080
back into government, So now you got to catch that
194
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:45.080
proverbial falling knife. The Cross Party Intelligence and Security Committee
195
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.120
will now decide what material is released, with the chair
196
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.080
of warning embarrassment is not enough for evidence to be suppressed.
197
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.000
A series of emails have already been released that cast
198
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.720
light on mister Mandelsson's friendship with Epstein. Some of them
199
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.960
mess show the Labor Grande celebrating the pedophiles released from
200
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:08.159
jail as Liberation Day and calling them a naughty boy,
201
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.679
not one single thought for those girls that were abused
202
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.840
down in Florida, Because that's what Epstein went to jail for, right,
203
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.039
That's what he was in jail for the eighteen months for.
204
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.879
And Kiir Starmer's out here calling him a naughty boy
205
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:29.240
for molested little kids. The latest Epstein files document dump
206
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:33.320
by US authorities has piled further pressure on Lord Mandelson,
207
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.360
who's facing a criminal probe and has quit the House
208
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.960
of Lords. Well that's cool, I'm sure he could find
209
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:43.080
a job within the Trump administration, maybe with Ben black
210
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.840
or with Howard Lutnik. One email thread from July of
211
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.159
two thousand and nine apparently shows the then government minister
212
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.720
asking Epstein how they should celebrate his release from prison
213
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.320
after serving thirteen months for soliciting prostitution with the minor,
214
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.200
which again we know is not even a real thing.
215
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:09.879
Miners cannot consent. Epstein responded with grace and modesty. Those
216
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.559
are the names of two strippers. Lord Mandelsson said from
217
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.320
now on grace and modesty should be discovered in London.
218
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.679
The emails can be traced to him because his private
219
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.799
email address was left unredacted in one of the messages
220
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.519
and his name in another. The Dealy Mail has redacted
221
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.919
most of the email address with a gray box in
222
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.480
this article, while the original redactions from the US Department
223
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:38.960
of Justice are black boxes. The former UK ambassador to
224
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.799
the US told the dea email the messages were his,
225
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:48.000
but they are his Epstein observations, not mine, and that
226
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.879
he was saying Epstein should find grace and modesty, not strippers.
227
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.399
Oh no, that's exactly what you were saying. Huh. So,
228
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.799
not only do they have no respect for you, they
229
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.759
think you're stupid too. Keep that in mind. The two
230
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.879
thousand and nine emails also show Mandelssohn asking how his
231
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.320
freedom feeling, to which the sex offender replied, she feels fresh, firm,
232
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.799
and creamy. Naughty boy, the labor grandee wrote in response.
233
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:17.000
In another message, Mandelsh can be seen telling Epstein upon
234
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:22.519
his release liberation day, Well, that's pretty ironic because the
235
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.759
only thing being liberated at this point is mister mandelssh
236
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:32.279
from his career. The crude messages of prompted disgust from
237
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:36.720
figures across the political spectrum, with SNP Westminster leader Stephen
238
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:40.759
Flynn writing on X sick Bastards, and Tory shadow minister
239
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.559
Alex Berghardt telling MP's he was shocked and disturbed. YO,
240
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.759
that sounds cool as hell. A shadow minister? How do
241
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.440
I apply for that gig? Will that be like Lord
242
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.600
Varres in Game of Thrones? Or is it like Steve
243
00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:02.519
Bannon here in America? Downing Street sources play down the
244
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.759
prospect of Mandelson files being released today, although it's still possible.
245
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.200
As seen in the US, the process may take some time,
246
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:14.159
although any excessive delay or redactions will lead the further
247
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.320
political rows and claims of a cover up. YO. The
248
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.399
cover up is roiling over in the UK, and I'm
249
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.240
here for it tall my listeners over in the UK,
250
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.519
over in Ireland, over in Scotland. We're going to be
251
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.519
following along every step of the way, because all of
252
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.960
it matters, all of it's connected, and it shows you
253
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.440
the true reach of Jeffrey Epstein's network and just how
254
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:45.559
powerful it was. With Sirrakiir's authority in tatters, even normally
255
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.840
loyal labor figures have questioned how long he can hang
256
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.440
on senior MPs or in the situation will not end
257
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.039
well for Sir Ekir and the clock is ticking, while
258
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.559
ex Cabinet Minister Lord Hutton suggested that his time and
259
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.759
power is coming to a close. If the Mandelssyn files
260
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.960
revealed the pm knew more about Lord Mandelson's links to
261
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.359
Epstein than he made out, that could prove fatal to
262
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:14.279
his leadership. Yeah, I would say so, And if it does,
263
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.200
I'd say that's a great precedent and one that should
264
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.559
surely be followed here in the United States. Unfortunately, considering
265
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.440
the robber barons and the oligarchs we have ruling US,
266
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.680
I have my doubts if that's going to occur, but
267
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.359
either way, we'll be here every single day keeping the
268
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.160
flags of discontent waving. And to all of you who
269
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:38.640
have just recently found the podcast, I appreciate each and
270
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.680
every one of you who stick around and continue to
271
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.680
support the podcast as we push for transparency and justice
272
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.279
for those who deserve it most. And speaking of justice,
273
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.200
we finally have our hands on that charging document from
274
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.119
Epstein's arrests the first time around down in Florida, so
275
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.519
later on today we'll start taking a look at that
276
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.720
as well. But as for this one, well that's going
277
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.680
to do it. All of the information that goes with
278
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:09.480
this episode can be found in the description box.
